Let Γ be a finite graph together with a group Gv at each vertex v. The graph productG(Γ) is obtained from the free product of all Gv by factoring out by the normal subgroup generated by for all adjacent v, w.

In this note we construct a projective resolution for G(Γ) given projective resolutions for each Gv, and obtain some applications.
